I spent a bit of time last night going right through both of the spare parts manuals I have for the Lynx and could not find anything to even suggest that there ever was a convoy light set up. Nothing in the wiring loom, diff details or any where else. Looking at the Lynx from the rear, you cannot see the diff unless you get right down low and look up. Maybe your late model Lynx had it but my earlier Mk.111* certainly doesn't.

As I posted earlier the wiring diagram doesn’t appear to have a convoy light.

Guys,
I truly appreciate each and every comment. The bracket is now back on the shelf where it will remain a wonder. The lack of documentation and the lack of an ID on the wiring diagram plus the fact that that the bracket does not accept a normal convoy light were major factors. The clincher was when Rob confirmed that the RCA Lynx doesn't have a convoy light since I know that the CWM Lynx doesn't either. I continue to be amazed at the knowledge within the MLU community and the willingness to share. Thanks again, Peter |

After looking in both the parts and maintenance manuals, I agree with Jordan. I didn't find reference to an axle or sub lamp, a switch for it or a bracket to mount it on. The lamp and wiring are filed with electrical in the F15A parts list but I also looked in the frame, hull, instrumentation and rear axle sections in case they were filed differently on the Lynx. That said, it is always possible I missed the relevant items.
Is there by any chance a part number stamped on the bracket? If so, I can try again. |

maybe that is a plug in socket for a trouble light?

Grant,
I can think of at least four Lynx/Ford manuals that have had quite the workout (yours, Jordan's, Rick's and mine). There is no part number on the bracket and it is of an unusually heavy gauge - 3/16". I am now of the mind that this was a post war add on. Harry, The remnants are very similar, again not a logical fit for this location. Thanks, Peter |
